What is Planned Giving?

Very simply, Planned Giving is setting up a plan to provide for your favourite charities. It organizes the gifts that you wish to make so that your wishes will be realized. Planned gifts are arranged in the present but usually received in the future.

You can work with your Brant Community Foundation on a pledge schedule that will create a Donor Advised fund during your lifetime. You can be part of the grant decision making process for a fund that can grow through planned giving options.

Some Planned Giving Options:

• Initial donation and annual pledge schedule
• Bequest in a will
• Life insurance
• Major Gift-in-Kind
